well to start this off , first you'll have to understand me myself and my life before Jacob came into the picture . so my name is rhylee , I was 14 years old and I lived in Florida I was going into my freshman year of high school and I have one older brother and a younger (very young) sister who had just turned 5 while my brother max had just turned 17 , me and max were close for being 3 years apart , my mom wasn't the best she could've been but she tried ... me and max really kept the whole family together . my dad left when I had just turned 4 ...literally on my fourth birthday my dad packed up and left my mom , now let me stop you right there , I know you're wondering well if you're dad left when you were four then what about your younger sister , well phoenix is technically my half sister , my mom had been with her boyfriend for about three years before they started trying to have a children , but then when my mom was pregnant with phoenix , her boyfriend cheated , so my mom kicked him out and decided she could raise yet another kid on her own although to be fair me and max had basically raised ourselves and each other , so we knew that having phoenix come into the picture meant we had to move again and me and max would be stuck taking care of a kid . now I know this sounds like im making my mom out to be a bad mother or a bad person but im really not trying too... its just after our dad had left she was in denial about it for around a year , because my dad was still around and there were times when he would talk about them getting back together and us being a family again and my mom had hoped and prayed that they would because my mom missed him . but once I turned five then my dad started coming around less and less and my mom became unstable and had guy after guy at our house and her relationships with them rarely lasted for about a month... and she was going to stay like this and did for about a good year or so . until I turned six and max was nine and one of her boyfriends hit me and max and threatened to hit my mom, then my mom moved from Colorado to Arizona and she had apologized and promised she would focus on us but max knew that wasn't true so he continued to care for me and him until my mom met phoenix's dad , then she was all caring about us and loved us every second she got . and that was nice and all until he left . then she was better then the situation with my dad and by the time she had had phoenix , we had moved from Arizona to Florida and things were finally looking up , me and max were taking care of phoenix and then me and max ended up going to the same high school and max is superrr overprotective , so I had never really dated anyone but max had had a girlfriend and her name was thalia and thalia was nice , they'd been dating for3 years now and she's like an older sister to me and especially to phoenix , she was always babysitting when I needed to do homework or wanted to go out with my best friend amethyst but anyways one day when I was walking through the halls this guy came up to me and started talking to me and told me his name was Jacob and we got along pretty well , had a bunch of classes together so we were just talking , I gave him my number and he started flirting with me and one night I snuck out of the house and told max I was going to amethyst's house and me and Jacob walked around and then he had asked me to be his and I said yes of course but it was weird , id never felt this way around a boy , so I went home and took Jacob with me and introduced him to max and thalia and then to phoenix and then I hugged him and he kissed my cheek and went home and then he called me and we talked the whole night , but that is the story of how me and Jacob all started and along the way ill explain to you how we got to where we are today .
